With all this migration i’ve been inspired to start self hosting some services.

I am looking for a mini pc to ideally run linux and host a media server with radarr and sonarr, pihole and some other stuff as i start getting more into self hosting.

Any recommendations / experiences that you can give? Or some general guidelines on what i should look for or things to avoid.

Thank you!!

My worries with a NAS is their very small RAM (on NAS of reasonable price). When running several docker containers i fear that might be an issue if suddenly several *arr are downloading, pihole, tailgate... all running at the same time might mean that the NAS with 1GB (and t these are already expensive, most I've seen more on my budget are half of that) of memory might not be enough (i think).

Ah, yeah, I suppose if you're talking about an off-the-shelf NAS, that would be a concern. I'm more talking about a custom build like the NAS Killer line from serverbuilds.net (https://forums.serverbuilds.net/t/guide-nas-killer-5-0/3072)

It's really a proper server that includes NAS functionality along with whatever else you want to do with it.
